A Friendship Blessed

A friend of mine who touched my life

Has left this room called "life on earth",
And is a rest beyond life's strife.

Now in the void are memories
Of warmth and love; of joy and mirth.

Does God exist?  Here's my reply.
I've seen His grace through my friend's faith.

Lord,
Give us your power to let our lights shine
As they reflect your love, peace and righteousness
To the rest of the world.

Lord,
Give us your power to pray for the ones we pass
On the street that we see who may need
Your help and love.
